CSS ID Selector and DIV Question

Hello, Is my CSS Code correct? I am having trouble getting the menubar to connect in CSS.

div#menubar {
    border: 10px solid darkblue;

<body>
    <header id=top>Welcome!</header>
    <div id="menubar">
        <a href="Home">Home</a>
        <a href="About Us">About Us</a>

    </div>

If you are using workspaces can you post a snapshot? It is the camera icon in the upper right corner.

remove the "div" part here, keep the hashtag, make sure you add a closing bracket too:

div#menubar {
    border: 10px solid darkblue;

it should look like this:

#menubar {
    border: 10px solid darkblue;
}

Also, your header id will need parentheses around it too.

Like this: 

    <header id="top">Welcome!</header>

Thank you for your answer. But how come it connects still using the selector I provided? It just doesn't look right.
